Notice to Installer: Leave instructions with homeowner.
1. In instances where property damages are incurred as a result of an alleged product failure, the property owner must retain possession of the product for investigation
purpose.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specic details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future
reference.
1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded receptacle of
grounding type must be installed and protected by a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) and in accordance with National Electrical Code and local
codes.
(SEE WARNING BELOW)
2. Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power
supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too
long or too light do not deliver sufcient voltage to the pump motor. But more
important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become
damaged.
3. Testing for Ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked
for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will
indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your
outlet. If they are not, call a qualied electrician.
4. For Added Safety. Pump must be connected to a 3-prong grounded outlet
interrupter device (ground fault circuit interrupter).
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER
SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a 3-prong
grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO
NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded receptacle of grounding type
must be installed and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in
accordance with national electrical code and local codes.
6. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should only be
performed by a qualied licensed electrician.
7. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for use in
swimming pool areas.

1. Check to be sure your power source is adequate for handling the voltage
requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump or basin plate.
2. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit
breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized
according to the National Electrical Code for the current shown on the pump
name plate.
3. All plumbing (discharge and vent lines) must be installed to meet local codes.
Unit must be vented. DO NOT USE AN AUTOMATIC PLUMBING VENT DEVICE
SIMILAR TO A “PRO-VENT”. Some states require this product to be installed
by a licensed plumber.
4. Repair and service should be performed by Zoeller Pump Company Authorized
Service and warranty center.
5. CHECK VALVE MUST BE USED TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY CYCLING OF PUMP.
6. This system must be installed above the water table. Groundwater outside the
basin will cause it to collapse.

“OUTDOOR” APPLICATION
1. All installations must comply with all applicable electrical and
plumbing codes, including but not limited to the National Electrical Code, local,
regional and/or state plumbing codes, etc.
2. Dig a hole for the basin. The hole should be at least 24” larger in diameter
than the basin diameter to provide 12” of backll all around and deep enough
to provide either 12” of compacted backll or 6” when a concrete pad is
required. Backll and sub-base should be
1/8” –3/4” pea gravel or 1/8” –1/2” crushed stone.
3. Note: Care must be taken when excavating in order to
avoid underground utilities and disturbance of existing structure
foundations. The hole should be located at least ten feet from adjacent
structures. Additional distance may be required to sufciently locate the
basin outside of the loading area of the adjacent structures.
4. Dig a trench for the discharge and electrical conduit.
5. The bottom of the excavation can now be back lled and compacted. Set
basin in hole and connect the 4” inlet pipe and 2” discharge pipe.
6. Run electrical conduit to the power source.
7. Backll around basin with specied media. Care should be used to avoid
damaging components or leaving voids when back lling.
8. Note: Venting can be installed on basin cover as necessary according to
all applicable National, State, and Local plumbing codes.
